While that project was postponed and would arrive on December 9 of that year, August 26th is an encapsulation of the moments before Post Malone became a global superstar.<\/p>\n<p>August 26th was executive produced by Post\u2019s close collaborator, FKi 1st, who also handles some beatmaking on the record and even comes through with a guest verse on \u201cGod Damn.\u201d Malone credits FKi with being an instrumental part of his development.\n<\/p>\n<p>In a 2016 interview with Vibe, Posty explained: \u201cWell, (FKi) 1st really put me on game about\u2026 how everything works, how deals work, and how everything goes. He was like the first producer that I worked with coming into L.A. He really taught me a lot of producing tricks and he made some dope beats for me. We started building our friendship and kept on working together. Now we\u2019re just trying to make cool music and figure life out.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>August 26th also features contributions from Lil Yachty, 2 Chainz, Jaden Smith, and more. In other Post Malone news, last month he and Jelly Roll wrapped up their massive The BIG ASS Stadium Tour Part 2, which took the artists to stadiums and festivals across North America.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/posty.lnk.to\/august26PR?utm_campaign=products&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=udiscovermusic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Listen to Post Malone\u2019s August 26th mixtape here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ten years after Post Malone unveiled his debut mixtape, August 26th, the superstar has made the album available&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":750489,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[247878,96,677,72177,192570,128,48602,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-750488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-august-26th","tag-entertainment","tag-hip-hop","tag-homepage-featured","tag-mixtape","tag-music","tag-post-malone","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=750488"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750488\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/750489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=750488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=750488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=750488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
